Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works I wanted a longer probe but they aren't in stock. I had to settle for this one, it works fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Two Foot Type K Thermocouple Probes! The probes look fantastic and seem to be well manufactured. I'll be calibrating them later this week to confirm the accuracy and functionality. I expect that they will perform exceptionally well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Durable, reliable, do the job. Longer ones less so Durable and get the job done. Only complaint is longer (36"?) ones come with a set screw to hold the probe in place, in little time this loosens and the probe spins freely on the handle. Causes failure. Set screw is so small that it strips out if you try to tighten. Shorter ones are molded right into the handle...

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good probe, slow ship Good quality on the product, usually the company takes a while to ship

What are the response times for 1/16" and 1/8" diameter Inconel probe with extended tip. I need to measure the temperature of a Bunsen burner flame, up to 1550 degC; do you recommend this probe or something else?

Asked by: Probing for Answers
Thank you for your inquiry Probing for Answers. Unfortunately, we do not have the exact response times for a specific diameter due to environmental conditions and the thermocouple junction type affecting the response of the probe. We can share that the smaller the diameter of the probe, the faster the response time. But a smaller diameter will also reduce your maximum temperature. If you want the fastest response time on a thermocouple, then selecting a grounded probe will be a good choice as it provides a faster time response than an ungrounded junction. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-800-622-2378, ask for Temperature Engineering or send an email to temp@omega.com

What is the temperature rating of the coiled cord and connector?

Asked by: Enciso
Hello, Thank you for your question. The temperature rating for the cord is -267C to 260C (-450F to 500F) and the temperature rating for the connector is from -29C to 260C (-20F to 500°F)

What is the accuracy of this probe (KHSS-116 G-RSC-12) in F?

Asked by: kmscaltech
Thank you for connecting with Omega. The accuracy of this probe would be based off ANSI standards of a type K thermocouple. In this case accuracy is +/- 2.0F or 0.4%, whichever is greatest.

What is the accuracy of the KHSS-116G-RSC-12?

Asked by: marcm
Thank you for your inquiry. The tolerance is ±1.1°C or 0.4% of the actual value (use the greater of the two) .

Is this probe good for -200 deg C when used with the HH12C thermometer?

Asked by: ECSWRN
Thanks for the question! Type K thermocouples are rated for -200C although Omega only tests down to 0C.

I have a KTSS-HH Thermocouple probe 6”, 0.125”, stainless steel , TSS-HH series . It is just a bit too short for my need. Do you sell 12’ long one in the same model? Could you please email me the exact link of that model form me so I can purchase it? 

Asked by: Krisztina
Hi Krisztina, Please see the attached link. The part number you are going to also want is KTSS-HH-12. https://www.omega.com/en-us/sensors-and-sensing-equipment/temperature/sensors/thermocouple-probes/jtss-hh-series/p/KTSS-HH-12

Would I be able to measure the temperature of a live circuit with this? My process uses an electrical current to heat up a resistor to slit our product with and I want to use this to measure that temperature.

Asked by: Textiles
Omega does not advise using any probes on live circuits and recommends only non-contact measurement like IR be used.
